Introduction
FundedNext futures just released a series of rule changes that reshape how traders navigate challenges, payouts, and funded accounts. With the entire prop futures industry going through rapid adjustments, these updates signal where the space is heading.
This blog walks you through everything that changed, what stayed the same, and how to decide which plan benefits you most.
Legacy Consistency Rule Removed
One of the most significant updates is the complete removal of the 40 percent consistency rule on Legacy funded accounts once you pass the challenge.
Here is what that means in practice:
• After passing, there is no more percentage-based trade distribution requirement.
• You can focus on your best setups without worrying about balancing trade sizes.
• Uncapped payouts become easier to reach once your benchmark days are complete.
To request a withdrawal on Legacy, you need:
• At least five profitable days
• A minimum of five hundred dollars in net profit for the cycle
• No consistency requirement after passing the challenge
This gives traders much more freedom once they are funded.
Withdrawal Limits Until You Reach 30 Benchmark Days
To accompany the consistency change, FundedNext introduced a temporary withdrawal limit on Legacy funded accounts.
Here is the structure:
• Until you complete thirty benchmark days, you may withdraw only up to half of the gains you generate.
Example: if your account gains twelve thousand dollars, you may withdraw six thousand.
• Once you reach thirty benchmark days, the limit is entirely removed.
This mirrors scaling practices seen at several competing prop firms and helps control early account risk.
New 80 percent Reward Share for New Challenges
Beginning November twenty first, all newly purchased or reset Legacy and Rapid challenges shift to an eighty percent reward share.
Previously:
• Both plans offered one hundred percent reward share after meeting payout conditions.
Now:
• Traders receive eighty percent of payout rewards.
• FundedNext retains the remaining twenty percent.
Important details:
• Any active challenge or funded account purchased before November twenty first keeps the original one hundred percent payout structure.
• Even if you pass the challenge after that date, your payout terms remain locked as long as the purchase was made beforehand.
The shift reflects broader adjustments happening throughout the futures prop firm industry.
Maximum Loss Adjustments on 25K Accounts
A smaller but meaningful change:
The twenty-five thousand dollar Rapid and Legacy accounts now have slightly reduced maximum loss allowances.
For example:
• Old maximum loss: $1,250
• Updated maximum loss: $1000
The ratio remains reasonable, yet reduced breathing room paired with recent market volatility makes the fifty thousand dollar accounts more desirable for many traders.
Improvements to Automation, Payouts, and Bulk Purchases
FundedNext also introduced platform upgrades:
• Automated payout processing
• Support for bulk challenge purchases
These updates simplify account management, especially for traders handling multiple evaluations.
Which Plan Is Best After the Update?
Before November twenty first:
• The Rapid plan offered the strongest value thanks to fast payouts, one hundred percent reward share, and accessible scaling.
After the update:
• The Legacy plan becomes the better long-term option.
• Removal of consistency requirements dramatically improves funded account flexibility.
• Payout caps disappear after thirty benchmark days.
• Stronger potential for larger withdrawals compared to Rapid.
In simple terms:
• Choose Rapid if fast payouts are your priority.
• Choose Legacy if you want larger and more flexible payouts.
Final Thoughts
These rule changes signal a shift toward sustainability across the prop futures industry. FundedNext is tightening certain payouts while improving trader flexibility in other areas.
If you bought accounts before November twenty first, you locked in premium conditions. If not, the Legacy plan now stands out as the stronger long-term choice for most traders.
